Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

It was a unique experience. Everything was perfect. Our teacher Aleyna was very calm and explained everything very well. She was near us at every step talking about the workshop and also about us. I recommend this experience to everyone.

Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

Eine wunderschöne und inspirierende Veranstaltung. Erfrischend anders bei den so vielen Verkaufsveranstaltungen. Der Workshop war eines der Highlights unserer Istanbulreise und auch der Stadtteil Üsküdar lädt bei den zig Cafés zum Bummeln und Verweilen ein. Absolute Empfehlung!!!

Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

My friend and I loved this experience with Aleyna. She helped explain how to assemble the lamps. It was a homey vibe with Turkish coffee and sweets. It was at a good pace and we’re happy to have kept the end products.

Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

I had a great time with my instructor Aleyna. She was patient with me and even made suggestions on how to make my designs even better. She was not pushy and understood the evolving creative process. By the end I had a lovely enchanting lamp. On top of all that, Aleyna was like a local guide, recommending awesome spots to visit on the Asian side of Istanbul. She even threw in some fascinating tidbits about Turkish culture. Learning from her was an unforgettable experience, and I'm grateful for all the knowledge, coffee, and good vibes she shared.Great value overall!

Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

Highly recommend this experience! It was a highlight of our trip for my friend and I. The experience was a nice friendly vibe. It was informative and interesting of Turkish coffee. It was hands on and accompanied by a friendly yet cute friend, Alex, the grey Scottish fold cat 🐈. Bunyamin is helpful and gave tips on everything! 10/10

Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

We met at a convenient location and then they escorted us to the workshop. Travel was paid for so we didn’t need to worry. Got to experience the underground system. The workshop was a hybrid cafe. We were given drinks too. Given clear instructions on what to do and expect. Very relaxing, enjoyable experience. Would highly recommended anyone to do if they are visiting Istanbul and have an interest in arts and crafts.

Bünyamin ist ein fantastischer Kursleiter. Der Workshop ist sehr persönlich, witzig, kurzweilig und unterhaltsam! Wir haben viel über die türkische Kaffeekultur gelernt und können jetzt unseren eigenen türkischen Kaffee zubereiten. Eine der schönsten Dinge die man in Istanbul unternehmen kann!

Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

Benjamin is very kind and fun. He is a great storyteller, the workshop was a fun and entertaining lesson about the story of Turkish coffee. We made our own coffee and learnt different methods. Then there was the fortune telling session, super fun! In the end we spent some more time with the other workshop guests and Benjamin enjoying a tea with them. Super recommend!!
